-International Events-

United Kingdom: The crackdown on speech continues, with several developments taking place this week. A man was arrested a few days ago for the "possession of extreme music", which allegedly violates terrorism laws. Separately, a woman was arrested for using a slur in a private text-message exchange to describe the man who attacked her, and a another case came to light involving a man who was arrested after posting vacation pictures online, which featured him visiting a shooting range in the United States.

-HomeFront-

Washington D.C. - This morning the Department of Homeland Security formally halted all immigration and naturalization from 19x nations labeled as High-Risk Countries. The list of these nations is as follows: Afghanistan, Burma, Burundi, Chad, Cuba, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Laos, Libya, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sudan, Togo, Turkmenistan, Venezuela, and Yemen.

Analyst Comment: The halt of immigration from these nations is not new by any means, this was announced back in June as part of Presidential Proclamation 10949, but this policy is just being implemented now.

West Virginia: Winter weather conditions resulted in a technical rescue taking place on Route 35 near Sixteen Mile Road in Mason County. Mason Bridge was closed for over 5 hours while the high-angle rescue was being conducted. The driver was uninjured and refused medical treatment at the scene. The cause of the accident is not known.

Minnesota: Locals have reported ICE operations beginning in Minneapolis, as a few illegals from Somalia have been arrested over the past few days.

Analyst Comment: This may or may not be the beginning of a larger campaign; ICE agents have been conducting low-level operations in Minneapolis for months now, so it's not clear as to if the arrests that have been made recently are part of that routine effort, or part of a much larger campaign. Either way, resistance throughout the city is significant as Somalis form a more cohesive effort to halt the enforcement of immigration law.

Maryland: This afternoon a shooting was reported at the food court inside MGM National Harbor casino in Prince George County. One person was killed and another wounded during the attack. Local authorities state that the shooting was targeted, and that the shooter sought out the victim personally. No further details on the shooter or the motive have been released. The food court at the casino remains closed while the murder investigation continues, but the rest of the casino is open as usual.

California: On Monday an arson attack was carried out in Los Angeles, which took the form of an assailant using multiple Molotov devices to attack the Los Angeles Federal Building (LAFB). Per the notice provided by DHS officials yesterday, the man approached the facility and threw two Molotovs at the security guards outside the facility, before being detained. Neither device functioned as designed, and the suspect was arrested at the scene. Yesterday the DOJ identified the suspect as Jose Francisco Jovel, a resident of Koreatown.

Analyst Comment: As arson attacks remain fairly constant nationwide during times of heightened unrest, the use of fire as a weapon is becoming more of a concern for the prepared citizen. Molotovs are a common sight in Los Angeles at this point, however this man attempted to use his devices to immolate two security officers posted at the entrance to the facility.

Nebraska: A series of shootings were reported in Omaha this morning. The first incident began around noon when a Hispanic male shot a White male while he was shopping at a small grocery store near 30th Street and Ames Avenue. The license plate of the getaway car used by the suspect was noted during that shooting, which led to that vehicle being located later, several miles south of the initial crime scene. Police noted the suspect pulling in to a Quick Trip gas station, going inside the restroom at the convenience store. When the suspect exited the restroom, a small arms engagement broke out between the suspect and police. Two officers were shot, and a third wounded by shrapnel. The suspect was killed during the engagement. The status of the initial victim (who was shot at the grocery store) is not known, but he was shot several times in the chest by the suspect.

Illinois: Controversy has erupted following the re-hiring of an illegal immigrant to the police force in Hanover Park. Officer Radule Bojovic was originally arrested by ICE on October 15th on multiple charges. Bojovic had fraudulently gained entry to the United States on a tourist visa from Montenegro, knowing that he was going to work as a police officer. He also overstayed this tourist visa, which prompted the initial arrest. At the time Bojovic was working as a police officer in Hanover Park, and was immediately fired once it became clear that he is a criminal. However, ICE did not deport him immediately, and instead let him go with a court date for his trial. After he was released back into the United States, Hanover Park immediately re-hired him (even though he is still an illegal immigrant awaiting his trial).

-----END TEARLINE-----

Analyst Comments: Per long-standing immigration law, illegal immigrants are not allowed to remain in the United States, and they are certainly not allowed to carry a firearm. This is the de facto standard for every single nationstate on Earth. Nevertheless, this illegal immigrant, who violated the terms of his immigration paperwork will not only be allowed to carry a gun, but use that gun during his daily duties. Unlike every other case of a police officer facing criminal charges, he is not on administrative leave and he did not return to his old job after a leave of absence. He was fired initially, but re-hired by the city knowing that he was facing criminal charges. Despite the egregious nature of this behavior all around, the city claims that ICE never told him he couldn't stop working, so they rehired him. He was also given backpay for the time he spent in ICE detention. If this version of the story is true, it's on the feds for not enforcing the law and releasing him from custody, instead of immediate deportation. Either way, games are being played all around, and the letter of the law doesn't matter quite as much as it used to for situations like this.
